​Community Planning​

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department develops community plans in order to help create a community of choice for living, working and leisure. Community plans are policy documents which define a vision for a community and include recommendations on land use, zoning, transportation, capital facilities and the environment. These policies are used by decision-makers to help guide future growth and development in Charlotte.

Community Plans are developed for smaller geographies and can
include various types of plans such as Strategic Plans or Transit Station
Area Plans. Community plans provide more detailed recommendations for
issues such as density and design.
